Hi all,
convincing decision-makers why more public code would benefit us all should be
easy. There are so many good arguments for putting publicly funded code under
a Free Software licence: Tax savings, transparency, and innovation – just to
name a few. But, in practice, we experienced that there are still a lot of
basics that need to be explained. Starting with: What is Free Software?
To help with this and in preparation for the upcoming elections of the EU
parliament, we compiled a policy brochure that presents the most important
facts and arguments about publicly funded code. Today, we publish it [1] under
a Creative Commons licence so that you and everyone else are free to use it as
support for convincing candidates.
Read more information about the brochure and order yourself a copy here:

Thanks and best regards,
Erik
